On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 9th, ].
Webb Davis, of Cooch's Bridge, Del,
presented to NJ. f. Church, ON behalf of
Geo. w. Childs, very handsome Bible.
The Rev. james Scott, of Christiana, re-
ceived it on behalf of the church, in IL
very neat and appropriate speech. In
presenting the Bible, Mr.. Davis said it
was to be regretted, that such men as
Mr.. Childs have TO die, yet as it was in
accordance with the laws of nature, as
well as the Divine law we have to content
ourselves with knowing, that the good
deeds and works of Great men, live
sometimes after them.
This little church. Salem, is situated
about five miles from the town of New
ark, and about three from Christiana vii
lage. 1t was built in 1907. The Bible
which has been in use for many years
was published by Carey d Co., Of Phila
in 1878. 1t is believed by many, that
Bisop Asbury has preached from the old
book. A.

Last Monday night was spent in Almost
enjoyable manner at Postmaster Choate's
by party Of young ladies and gentle
man who gathered together, in response
to invitations, to engage in "tafy-pull."
During the first part of the eveninggames
of various kinds were INDUCED in, and
each WED with the others in trying TO
make everything pleasant and successful.
Shortly before ten o'clock elegant re-
freshments were served to which all did
ample justice then returning to the
kitchen the "taGy-pull' began in earnest
Some few succeeded in bringing the tally
to perfection others were fairly success
full and still others horribly unsuccess-
full, placing the tafv everywhere except
where it should have been placed.
Nevertheless, all expressed themselves
as well pleased with the evenings en-
tertainment the only regret being that it
had passed so rapidly.

APPLETON ITEMS.

All the LEDGERs correspondents from

would give you few items, as follows
John p. Waid who has successfully
carried on the mcrchantie business at
this place for the past two years is going
to move to that delapidaicd burg of
Cowantown.
Mr.. Winfield Scott las rented the
store to be vacated by Mr.. Waid and
will open butcher shop in connection
with the store.
1t is rumored that several young men
of this place are going to start west in a
few weeks.
Mrs. Rebeoca Henderson, died at her
late home, on Sunday morning, last aged
S0years.
Wednesday night was the last night of
singing school at the residence of Mr..
John Steele, under the tutorship of Mr..
John Kimble.
A report reached our ears that Il young
man OF Appleton, who goes to school in
", was somewhat taken aback on
Monday evening ltappears there was Il
party, and he stayed over night to go to
it, and at moon" he asked a lady to 90
to the party with him, but received an
undecided answer. Nevertheless he
boosted all the afternoon about taking a
lady, and the rest of his schoolmates were
not. After supper he purchased new
white wing" collar and got fixed in his
best style, and went to call for the lady
with all the grace" of gentleman. He
went in and waited about half an hour
and still the lady did not appear. Our
hero sauntered out and went to the party
alone, and spent very pleasant evening
with another lady-large one-and then
hid back of tree and watched her go
home alone. 1t is needless to say the
young man is quite freqently reminded
that "nobodys going to take lady but
me-" CLOUDY.

Booth. Barrett, jefferson, Mantell, John
Gilbert, Fanny Davenport, Mrs. John Drew
aud other shining stars of the dramatic
frromcut will take part.
Coudock Is the oldest 'old man" of the stage
"Old Couldock," his chums call him In good
fellowship. There are three patriarchs of the
stage-Couldock, William Warren and John
Gilbert. Couldock was born in Long Acre.
England, in 1915, and was ~ years of age on
April 26. He came to New York in 1885 and
played in the old Bowery theatre, and has
played all over the country and in this oity
ever since. As Luke Fielding in "The Willow
Copse" and Dunstan Klrke in "Hazel Kirke"
he is known to the playgoers of the country.
In 1851 Nine. Celeste came to this country
and produced "The Willow Copse," designed
for her by Mr. Boucicault The piece was
presented at the old Walnut Street theatre, in
Philadelphia. A comparatively unknown
actor by the name Of Couldock was cast for tho
part of Luke Fielding. When the engagement
was concluded Nine. Celeste, naguauimous
as she was brilliant, handed CouIdocl, her
copy of tho play, with these words: "This
play is yours-I give it TO you; IL is yours by
right. for your genius aud art have made
star part of Luke Fielding. AS for me,
L take part in the play no morel" That
was more than n third of q century ago,
ard still Couldocls plays Luke Fielding with
the same pathetic strength which gained him
applause in those far Off days. His own
daughter for time played the part of Rose,
but she died after short dramatic career.
Recently dear, little Biiou Heron played the
part of Hazel kirke, when he was Dunstan,
her father.
"Hazel Kirke" was first played under the
title of "The Iron viii" Steele Mackaye
found Couldocli playing in it, and remodelied
| aud renamed it, and the patriarchal actor has
| played in it at least $50 times u year during
| the past five years.
| In 1875 Steele Mackaye engaged Couldock
to play the part of the Professor in his play
called "Won at Last" and his performance
of tho character in this city is remembered
by all. He made such u hit in this part that
when the Madison Square theatre was built
he was the first person engaged for the stock
company.
| Ho played in the "American Cousin" with
Laura Keene. Both he and Sothern at first
refused their parts in that play, Think ng
there was nothing In them. Miss Keene re-
quested them in friendly way to play them
and cut them as much as they pleased.
| Sotheln'3 character was Lord Dundreary,
ana in disgust he went on and guyed it I'M
mercifully and made hit-in fact, made his
lifelong success and whatever fame lives after
him.
Couldock is q favorite of the stage people
as well as the public His benefit will be
something overwhelming, financially, no
doubt. G. l.. BARNETT.

months the question was discussed
from every platform in Texas until The

LOUISVILLE, August 5.--The Cou-

cent. of the entire vote Of the state in
1884 when Cleveland's majority was
81 1889. In these counties reductions
OF Cleveland's vote has been 1926. APP
plying the same ratio to the remain
ing counties the reduction in Buck
ner's vote will be 1l,9SS, this will leave
democratic majority OF 24,S2l. The
